“He wanted to have anal sex, vaginal sex, oral sex,” Epps said. “He was always asking me to kiss his penis.”
Shocking that a man in power would try to abuse that power. /s
That’s why democracy needs accountability. And that’s why the powerful hate accountability so much.
Democracy in the US*
In other countries where democracy is in service to the public, these things don’t occur on a scale of notoriety. It’s like, someone does a bad thing and they go to prison.
That’s accountability. All democracy needs it but most democracies outside the US already have it
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

You know, like Prince Andrew in the UK.
You’re right, prince Andrew should’ve been fired from his publicly elected office.
Oh wait
He avoided jail. I haven’t followed that story closely, but Epstein was abusing girls, not women, and I’d assume Andrew is accused of the same.
And why isn’t he in prison? Oh right, because he’s rich and powerful. The dude diddled girls (or was at least an accomplice to it happening to dozens of girls) and got off with… Losing his job? And you call that accountability?
I agree, but you were talking about democracy and there’s nothing democratic about Prince Andrew the rapist.
I’m from NYC and I can tell you, this headline is in no way an exaggeration. The New York City government is in total freefall. There is no more gravity holding things together. Our court system doesn’t function anymore. Our government is “violently disintegrating,” and innocent bystanders are getting vaporized in the process. There is no rule of law, no functioning governing body; it’s Mad Max out here and New Jersey is clinking champagne glasses while we burn. The movie “The Warriors” is now a documentary.
So what you’re telling me is Luigi Mangione is going to somehow become king of New York City?
That would imply some form of justice being done, so…
Oh damn i hope they just wall it all off like in Escape from New York.
Can you give practical examples so thatI could understand what you mean please?
Come out and play.
hyperbole. I don’t really want to encourage people in the suburbs and country thinking the cities are really like the warriors.
Why is Techdirt reporting on this?
this is the dirt part
And in this case, “tech” is short for “technically.”
Because they wanted to.
